I just got my March issue of "Outdoor Photographer" (US), a magazine that I have subscribed to for over ten years, and I must say the quality has taken a sharp nosedive the last few issues. There is a small banner on the cover saying "new look", but the new look leaves a great deal to be desired. The page layouts and photo reproduction seem pretty mediocre, with a great deal of empty wasted space on plain white pages, and the design is elementary, uninspired and really kind of cheap looking. These likely are budgetary moves to get the cost of printing down, but geez, this is little more than a pamphlet at this point.
I know that the old owners were having trouble with payments and sold the title to a Boston based publisher, but I had hoped they would make a better show of it. Hate to see it come to an end after so long, or go digital only. Does anyone know what is happening behind the scenes?
